[Submission period is open until March 1. Scroll down for categories.]

TINGE Magazine is looking for fiction, nonfiction, and
poetry that is honest, affecting, and revelatory. We seek pieces that
linger for hours after we’ve read them—that tinge the trees and the sky, and the way we view each other.

Our
preference is for pieces of exceptional literary quality. We aim to
publish work that defies or interrogates conventions of form and genre.

TINGE
Magazine is usually published twice a year, in the Spring (May) and in
the Fall (December). In general, our reading periods are from January 1
to March 1 for the Spring issue, and September 1 to November 1 for the
Fall issue.

TINGE is edited by the graduate students of Temple University’s M.F.A. Program in Creative Writing.
As writers ourselves, we believe that all pieces of writing are labors
of love, and we want to honor the effort you put into them. We read
every submission we receive with the care and attention it deserves. We
make every effort to respond to all submissions by, respectively, May
and January.

Submission Rules

There are no fees for submissions.

We only accept submissions via Submittable
in Microsoft Word (“.doc”/“.docx”) and PDF (“.pdf”) formats. Please
make the filename the same as the title of the piece, e.g., “The
Errand.doc.”

We prefer the font size to be 12 points for the
text. Cite your name and contact information on the top of the first
page. Prose pieces should be double-spaced.

We ask for a short bio in the “Cover Letter or Bio” field that lists previous publications and awards. Please add a line telling us how you heard of us (Submittable, NewPages, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email, a friend, etc.).

Please make only one submission to TINGE
during each two-month reading period. Simultaneous submissions to other
publications are permitted, but let us know immediately upon acceptance
elsewhere. If you need to withdraw a submission, do so through Submittable.

We
will not consider any material that has previously appeared anywhere in
North America, in any form, print or online (we acquire First North
American Serial Rights). At this time, we cannot provide any honoraria
for works that are selected.

We do allow submissions from people
affiliated with Temple University, but cannot offer any special
treatment. Undergraduates are encouraged to submit to HYPHEN, the excellent literary journal published by the Department of English.
